On the benefits of competition
Triumph is for those who do battle and not of those who work at just keeping the enemy / competition out .
Just thinking , what wasted and negative energy is " boycotting " an idea or product
We could get much further if we diverted the same energy in doing things better so that the object of our discomfort would get dislodged .
Free competition and open markets are important spurs for efficient productivity !
Nationalism , protectionism and politics only offer easy crutches for being second and limping.
Nothing in life ever goes away by pretending it does not exist ! That is the hard reality and the earlier we recognise it as a hidden blessing and not an unwanted curse , the better and quicker is our effort to overcome any disadvantage , percieved or otherwise .
A connection on LinkedIn mooted a theme
" Educate for Life , Not for Work "
which I believe captures the core of the thought behind education and it's purpose.
How can this be reconciled with the fact that work and what it gets you is also very important and to be good at it ( work ) one must have the right education 😊
I suppose the blend would be achieved if students were taught and trained to get into the right mould individually so that they get to do the best suited work and they have enjoyable lives!
This might require an overhaul of the present education system or at least the introduction of supplementary programs .
Let me have your views if you feel inclined to comment
